Justification for the Physical Education (PE) Activity Maximum The faculty believes that non-academic PE activity courses should be limited to 3 elective units in a student’s degree program to preserve the academic integrity of a UA degree. A 3-unit maximum of PE activity electives in the bachelor’s degree is consistent with the 3-unit maximum for Success Courses. The faculty supports the physical fitness of undergraduates; thus, students may take an unlimited number of PE activity courses at the UA or may transfer an unlimited number from regionally accredited institutions. All activity credits will count toward earned units and class standing. Students who transferred PE activity courses to the UA in the past 4 years (2008 – 2011) averaged no more than 3 PE units, so this proposal would not disadvantage transfer students. The NCAA has set a limit of 2 PE activity units that can apply to a prospective transfer student athlete’s academic eligibility requirements—below the proposed UA maximum. The proposed maximum is in line with limits on PE activity credits established by several UA peer institutions (e.g., UCLA, U. of Minnesota, UT-Austin, U. of Washington).

Proposal to amend two Catalog policies (additions in red font):

Graduation Averages and Credit Requirements, http://catalog.arizona.edu/2011-12/policies/gradavg.htm Elective Credit Maximums:
No more than three (3) Physical Education activity credits and no more than three (3) Success Course credits [link to definition] will apply as general elective credit toward a bachelor’s degree.

Choosing the right major is an important decision. However, by putting too much pressure on yourself, you may end up making a hasty and incorrect choice. Choosing the right major can be overwhelming and requires a lot of time. If you do some research, evaluate yourself, and check all available options, you are more likely to select a major that will offer a long-term happiness and financial benefits. Furthermore, opinions, guidance and influence from others like your elders, professors and colleagues can affect the decision of choosing a major. However, even with the help and guidance of other people, there will be obstacles you have to overcome and be ready to face it.
First, choosing to focus on a subject that you enjoy is the most important factor in determining a major. Getting a degree in a career for which you have no passion is an unpleasant position. You might make all the money in the world, but if you’re not happy with your work, you will never be satisfied. For example, my aunt’s best friend always wanted to be a photographer since her childhood. She loves to take photos of nature, her kids and family. She is passionate about photography, but her parents wanted her to be an Engineer. She works at a Consulting company and has a great paying job but she is not happy with her fulltime job as much as she likes her part-time photography job.

...Personal Responsibility Essay
One’s chances of succeeding in college are highly dependent on their ability to demonstrate their personal responsibility. By doing so, one will be set for success not only in college, but also in life. Personal responsibility is also seen by many as a way to determine one’s character. Instead of giving up on one’s desires in life through the use of poor personal responsibility, they should push themselves to their greatest potential.
There are many definitions of what personal responsibility is, depending on who one asks, but the common factor that they have is simply to know what choice is the best one to choose from, whether it be in their role as a leader or life in general. As Michael Korda has been quoted saying in “Leading Thought: Building a Community”(1996-2002), “Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility....In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.” While searching for information this student came across a perfect explanation of what the
definition of personal responsibility is to the majority of people.

...The Importance of Personal Responsibility
GEN/200
As an adult you are responsible for every action that you take, but before that action are a series of thoughts that lead you to taking that action. Your personal responsibility starts at a young age, you are either taught personal responsibility as you grow into an adult by being held accountable of your own actions or the responsibility is taken from you. Depending on how you were brought up your transition into becoming an adult can either be an easy one or a difficult one where everyone is to blame but yourself. As an adult the one thing that you know is a constant is that you will be held accountable for your actions whether you like it or not.
Holding yourself accountable and having self discipline has a lot to do with personal responsibility in my opinion. When you hold yourself accountable for your actions, your thoughts, your intentions… you are making a conscious effort to be a responsible person. Every action starts with a thought, whether it’s a good thought or a bad thought will determine the outcome of that action. For example when you wake up in the morning and the first thought that comes to mind is that you will have a bad day, whether you know it or not you are subconsciously going to make it a bad day. Personal responsibility starts with holding yourself accountable, if you stopped that thought when it...

Values are a part of each of us. Our value system is influenced from birth by family members. As we grow, our values continue to be shaped by our family, in addition to outside influences such as teachers, friends and other mentors. In our professional life, we will most likely be faced at some point in time, with a conflict between our personal values and a professional situation. It is important to handle the conflict with dignity and to find a solution to the conflict in which your individual values are maintained, as well as your professional integrity.
Personal values act as motivators and impact priorities. Examples of motivating values are achievement, happiness, advancement/promotion, and family. “To gain a better understanding of how your values motivate you to set priorities, try looking at your personal activities.” (Values, 8) When making a decision based on your personal values and the activities that influence these values, it is important to realize that the priority that you place on these values will potentially have both positive and negative consequences. When choosing a career at a company, you should recognize the potential consequences and...

...‘Personal growth and reconciliation through love are the predominant concerns in Away’
In the play Away personal growth and reconciliation through love are the predominant concerns that have been represented throughout the play. Personal growth through love is evident in the characters of Coral and Roy and reconciliation through love is evident in the characters of Vic and Harry. Gow uses techniques such as symbols, music and lighting to show how personal growth and reconciliation is shown through love.
Personal growth is a major theme in Away. Coral at the beginning of the play is shown to be not coping with the death of her son. In Act 4 scene 3 Tom writes a play about letting go and growing. Throughout this play we see how Coral begins to accept her son’s death. In addition to the acceptance of her son’s death this play also helped Coral to grow and resolve personal issues with Roy. The theme of reconciliation also links with Tom’s play as Coral reconciles with her husband Roy. Roy had personally grown to accept their son’s death and he wanted Coral to as well. Personal growth through love is also evident in Tom’s play when tom shows the love he has for his parents. Throughout the play Tom confronts his parents that he knows he has cancer and his time is coming to an end.
In Act 1 scene 2 we are introduced to the character of Gwen who is married to Jim and are...

...Personal SWOT Analysis
By Chinny Emma Leea Massarie
Student ID: 100183062
“SWOT” stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. SWOT Analysis is sort of all the rage in strategic planning these days, and is typically applied in a business setting to strategize about a certain objective.
SWOT consists of the following two activities:
1. An assessment of the organization’s internal Strengths and Weaknesses
2. An assessment of the Opportunities and Threats posed by its external environment
SWOT analysis provides a framework for visioning by helping the planners to identify and the organization’s GOALS and to further identify the strategies of achieving them. In this case I’m going to apply it on a personal level to analyze my own strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. This list is used to create a strategy for achieving the objective. Self analysis is a complicated things to do but play an important role for our self developing strategy.
There are some key things to point out here though. First is that I listed more positive than negative factors when talking about myself and less positive factors when thinking about the external situation. Sometimes I would try to judge myself based on others people’s point of view. If I was someone else doing this analysis on me I’d find more negative personal aspects.

...taken notice of my own worldviews. Instead, I just lived life as it was and worked by the daily routine. I still do not fully understand this worldview, and probably never will. I like to focus strictly on the positive things that life has to offer. I have been told by many that I have a positive attitude under all circumstances. This is something that I try to preach because to me there is no sense in complaining about the world because it will not change just because of one’s disapproval. When I am feeling down I try to think of the good things that I have in life and look forward to them instead of worrying about the bad. This world is not a utopia and nobody is going to be happy all of the time while living in it, but from my worldview I try to be as happy as possible.
Ever since I can remember, finding the positive things in life and focusing on them has always been my worldview. I look for the best in everything and everyone. In the movie the Blind Side, Leigh Anne Tuohy comes across a boy walking down the street. She is able to look past Michael’s outer appearance and the place that he has left behind and accepts him as her own. Like Leigh Anne, I am not one to “judge a book by its cover.” I look past flaws or negative aspects and focus on the positive. I think the major source of my worldview is my parents. They raised me right, never forcing me to do anything that I didn’t want to and...
